I am adding "made a window in the block" to my lexicon. Thank you.

You wipe up to the fourth knuckle?

Sure, I'll just wave hi to the folks at the urinals as I waddle over to the sink with my shit caked ass.

Maybe he thinks touching his butthole would make him gay and a bidet would force him to wipe.

Fires up pressure washer with extreme prejudice.

Assuming you're in the US you should know that first time home buyers can put basically 0% down. You need to pay mortgage insurance until you hit 20% equity in your home but that isn't terribly expensive when you compare it to the mortgage, insurance, and taxes. The 20% down rule is really only if youre selling an existing property to buy a different one. No bank is expecting a first time buyer to put 20% down.

I want to say the total amount I paid out of pocket at closing for my house was like $3000 back in 2018. So it's still spendy but the down payment isn't as much of an obstacle as people make it out to be. The bigger obstacles are just having a good credit score and a history of stable employment.

This is a good move. So many people buy thi shit thinking its just like psylocybin. I actually had to tell mom to stop buying them.

As someone from mn (where walz has been governor for a while now) I can assure you that he's awesome. The only thing that concerns me about him is that hes been awfully quiet about Israel's genocide so I don't really know where he stands on that. Otherwise though he's amazing.

He owns no stocks and no real assets to speak of. He lives exclusively in the govenors house and is relying on his state pension for retirement. He has passed legislation enshrining abortion rights in mn, blocking corporations from buying single family homes, providing free school lunches to all students, and funding college access for everyone state wide. In his free time he likes hunting, fishing, and working on his old 1979 International Harvester Scout Truck. When he fucked up durring his response to the George Floyd protests he immediately admited that he fucked up and vowed to do better next time. Durring covid he repeatedly chewed people out on both sides of the aisle for politicizing the pandemic while enacting common sense laws about it. Honestly I can't think of a single thing he has done that I disagree with other than his response to the George Floyd protest which even he admits was wrong.

I am rabbid for this man. He would be a damn nice president. My only regret would be that if he became president then he wouldn't be my state govenor any more.

Maybe we should try running women who aren't republican lite before we say that the issue is just that they're women.

Didn't she run basically the most well funded campaign ever? How is there still campaign debt?

Tim Walz? I mean, he's another old white man but he is fairly progressive and he won't quite be at retirement age yet by next election. Plus people loved him and what he had to say before the Harris campaign started muzzling him.

This is one of those philosophical questions that have no "correct" answer but heres my take on it. Also sorry, this turned into an essay but I was on a roll

The main thing is that having a child isn't something the parents do for the child. You can't do anything for a child that doesn't exist. Having a child is something parents do for themselves; they want a child so they have a child. Plus an unborn child can't possibly consent to being born. Put those two things together and you have two people doing something that they want to do for their own benefit which fundamentally changes the state of being of another person who can't possibly consent to it.

When you have a child you are also taking a gamble on how their life will turn out without consulting them. They could wind up being the happiest person in the world who lives a full perfectly fulfilled life. Or they could wind up absolutely miserable for the rest of their life wishing that they have never been born. Both of those things are largely up to random chance.

For example my brother in law was born to a homeless single heroin addict and grew up on the street even after his mom died. He is now a professional engineer with a doting wife, a loving family, and a large house with a white picket fence in a fairly nice neighborhood. He now literally lives the steriotypical american dream except he has a cat instead of a dog. Sure he worked for all of that but even he will tell you that it also just required a lot of luck. Meanwhile my foster brother was born to a happy, healthy, loving, and even relatively wealthy family but due to a freak illness when he was barely a toddler he now has next to no motor function. He can only slightly move one eye and eyelid but even that is taxing for him. He can kind of control a tablet with eye tracking for brief periods of time before it exhausts him and he likes to wink at people to say "hi" but that is the extent of agency he has in the world. He will almost certainly be like that for the rest of his life.

When you have a child you are taking that chance without consulting them. Some people see the chance of their child living a good life as being worth the risk, which is a perfectly acceptable opinion to have. Don't take this as me saying people need to be ashamed of having children. Like I said, there is no correct answer here. Other people (myself included) see it as unethical to take that risk for someone who can't consent to it. I obviously lean that way due to personal experience. I also don't see much point in creating more children when there is even one child that doesn't have a happy home. My genes aren't anything special, why make a new child when I could even possibly help an existing child have a better life.
